DOCTOR MY EYES
Jackson Browne

                      
Doctor my eyes have seen the years
                                  
And the slow parade of fears without crying
             
Now I want to understand
                 
I have done all that I could
                                  
To see the evil and the good without hiding
                       
You must help me if you can.

                                                 
Doctor my eyes and tell me what is wrong
              
Was I unwi---se,
                         
To leave them open for so long.

                            
As I've wondered through this world
                               
As each moment has unfurled I lay waiting
                     
To awaken from these dreams
                    
People go just where they will
                                   
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
                       
That it's later than it seems.

                                                  
Doctor my eyes and tell me what you see
                  
I hear their cri---es,
                       
Just say if it's too late for me.

Instrumental Interlude

                                                 
Doctor my eyes that cannot see the sky
                 
Is this the pri--ce,
                      
For having learned how not to cry.
